Happy New Year from The Mendocino Voice; here were our top stories this year

WILLITS, 12/31/19 — The 2010s are ending tonight, and the 2020s begin, will they be “roaring ‘20s” or will they be “boring ‘20s?” Well, that’s up to all of you, but here at The Mendocino Voice we have a lot planned for the first year of this new decade,* and we’re excited to get to it — and we couldn’t make it happen without the support of all of you. Tonight, we thought we should take a look back at what we’ve done over the last 12 months, and share it with you.

But first, our biggest plans this year are to expand by hiring more staff to give you better more comprehensive coverage, and to become a co-op in which you the readers will have an ownership stake in your newspaper. The best way you can support us in that is to become a member. So head over, become a member, and contribute to rebuilding local news in your community — the cost is less than a traditional newspaper subscription, and we promise we’ll never sell out to a large corporation or hedge-fund, because we’ll be owned by you.
